Dazed Wolf

Smuggler and Amateur Horticulturalist Extraordinaire!

[edit] Details Personality Background Rumors OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION At a first glance, Dazed appears to be a light-hearted and friendly Highlander. His somewhat clumsy and straight forward way of carrying himself in social scenarios tends to typically disarm those he interacts with. Being a smuggler, he often approaches strangers with the intent of assessing their potential for profit by using his charisma and charming personality. APPEARANCE Standing at 6’5’’, Dazed would be considered slightly taller than the average Highlander. While he still maintains a strong physique, his recent, calmer lifestyle has begun to show on his body. His previously chiseled form has become softer and less defined, while still retaining most of its strength. With a strong jaw line, some scruff, and a visible scar over the left corner of his lips, the Highlander’s face is one that is easily recognized among a crowd. The odd coloring of his hair, along with the peculiar markings around his eyes further help distinguish him from the masses. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ The markings around his eyes were done with enchanted ink, in an attempt to enhance his accuracy and perception. Although the desired results weren't achieved, they still managed to have a particular use. ■ Due to his near constant exposure to voidsent, his body has begun to show peculiar and unique signs of aging, such as the appearance of bright white tips on the ends of his hair. ■ The deep scar on the left side of his face stands as a strong reminder of the betrayal that he performed over those close to him, causing minor feelings of unpleasantness when brought up in conversation. PERSONALITY Dazed is has a happy and joyful personality that can best be compared to a charismatic patron of a small town inn. Even though he maintains a disarming personality, he's often sly and manipulative - constantly doing his best to analyze and exploit those around him. Everyone is just happy to enjoy his company as he goes about his day, making whatever jokes or comments to brighten the day of those around him. Even when intoxicated his behavior tends to remain the same, except for the occasional indecent joke or remark. L I K E S ■ Gil. Being driven by profit and greed, there are very few things that Dazed wouldn't do for enough gil. ■ Spirits. While he normally does his best to avoid indulging in his vices during negotiations or work, he typically will never turn down a drink during his social time. D I S L I K E S ■ Lalafels. The one thing he finds oddly irritating. While he'll never turn down a good source of gil, nor does he treat any Eorzean poorly based on race, his insides always seem to twist in the worst possible way when interacting with a Lalafel. ■ Bad Business. Every interaction he does, typically focuses on increasing his stash of gil by as much as he can. The one thing he dislikes being around more than a Lalafel is a non-profitable deal. H O B B I E S ■ Horticulture.It began as a way of maintaining a constant supply of rare, and illicit herbs and roots for potential clients, but after properly learning the craft, Dazed found himself enjoying tending plants and making sure they were well maintained. S T R E N G T H S ■ Charisma. Dazed has an almost unnatural amount of charisma. His ability to portray himself as a happy and calm individual, while sharing just enough of his personal life to make the right connections with others, has managed to save him from more than a few uncomfortable situations. ■ Arcane Knowledge. Having his knowledge of the arcane originate from humble beginnings as an arcanist, gave him access to an incredible library of information, which he managed to store either in his private collection, or by sheer memorization. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Roegadyns. Having started his career in illicit activities by joining a band of Hellsguard bandits, Dazed has always found himself more open and kind to the broad-shouldered race. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Gil - Dazed is almost entirely motivated by how much profit he can make of a given situation. History Keeping his past extremely private, there isn't much that's known of Dazed's personal history, apart from after he took his new name. Captured by a band of Hellsguard bandits, he found himself in a situation where he had to prove himself useful in order to survive. After a desperate plea, the leader of the group decided to give the strategist a chance at proving his worth. Over time, he quickly became smitten by their customs and personalities. What had once started as a desperate attempt to survive became a powerful desire to belong. Over the course of two years, the Hyur became an invaluable asset to his new companions, valuable enough to be re-baptized with a Hellsguard name. He took his new name with pride, forever forsaking his previous one. Dazed found himself happy, enjoying the company of bandits, and even falling for some. He found himself enjoying his life, until they stumbled over a haul that was meant for the Arcanist's guild. The theft was simple enough to preform, it was a small chocobo-drawn carriage without proper protection. Once the heist was done, the Hyur found himself sorting through the goods, assessing their values and preparing them for exchange in Ul'dah's black market. What he didn't expect, was to find an ancient tablet, practically oozing a dark aether over his palms as he handled it. Underneath the tablet, was a stone with a soft, green hue glowing from it. He felt an uncontrollable urge to take the tablet, and the stone, and leave. In an almost hypnotic state, he took the relics, bolting towards the exit. He managed to regain his senses, only to find himself in Othard, a gash across his face, and the crimson blood of another on his garments. Unsure of what to do next, he found himself studying both the tablet and the stone. Shifting through Doma as a vagrant while using his charisma to make due off of the kindness of others. It wasn't until he finally managed to figure out that the gem was in fact a soulstone, giving him the knowledge of a Scholar of Nym, that he started to turn coin. He started out as a simple adventurer, until he met a certain individual from Garlemald who offered him a job. That one job, led to a series of contracts and opportunities for gil, lifting Dazed from poverty into a substantially better life. Once the liberation of Doma occurred, his original contact no longer in need of his services, causing him to look back to Eorzea for profit. In order to facilitate his actions across nations, Dazed established a contact within the Maelstrom and the Yellowjackets, creating an easy and safe route between both nations, and expanding his potential clientele to all of Eorzea.  RUMORS N P C Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard.

Obviously some basic information is fine, like the location, scenario, etc. That being said, there is a lot of information intentionally left out of my profile. I enjoy character discovery through roleplay, so there are still a few interesting things that can come up in a longer-term roleplay. Personal RP Limits I can't really commit to the constant, always in character, type of roleplay. My schedule is a bit of a mess, and I typically plan on finishing whatever content or FC events I have to run over RP. However, if it's a planned or scheduled roleplay, I'll definitely be there and have a good amount of time scheduled for it. ■ Character Death While I don't mind what you do with your character, I don't have any intention of losing my character in a story. Dazed is persistent throughout multiple roleplays and evolves as a character over time. I'd like to keep it that way. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Here are a few good starts, or maybe uses that Dazed could have with your character. ■ Smuggling - Since Dazed is a smuggler, any type of roleplay involving the need of illicit activities which require the procuration or shipment of goods or individuals would be a good start.   ■ Past Contacts (Pre-Smuggling) - Maybe your character is someone who might have known Dazed before he became a bandit, or even a smuggler. You could be an old friend, or an acquaintance. Just take note that Dazed will never fully recognize or accept your character's belief of who he might be. ■ Past Contacts (Hellsguard Bandit) - If your character happens to be a Hellsguard Roegadyn with a thieving background, then he could have been a part of the group of bandits betrayed by Dazed. He might even just be someone who has knowledge of who Dazed was from some past interaction. Character Lore Adherence While I personally try my best to stick with the lore, I'm not very strict as to what other people roleplay as. I do have some limits, like crossing over completly different universes. I'm looking at you, Mr. Jedi Samurai. But as long as it makes some sense, and fits in the FFXIV universe somewhat, I'm perfectly fine with it.
